Immunization Schedule in India : (IAP Updated Schedule)

Everyone recognizes the enlarging abdomen of pregnancy, but unless a sister or close friend has been pregnant, you may not be familiar with the other amazing physical and emotional changes taking place.

Pregnancy is a steady stream of new experiences, and some may make you wonder if everything is going all right. You may also wonder if and when you should call your caregiver. Your experiences will be less distressing if you know the common physical and emotional changes during pregnancy.
 
Also, keep in mind that pregnancy and early parenthood initiate major changes in your relationships with your mate, your parents, other relatives and friends. Be patient with yourself. Do not expect everything to go perfectly. No childbirth experience exactly matches expectations.
 
Every birth is different. It’s natural to remember your childbirth experience in great detail and often useful to write it all down. You, your partner and your child will enjoy reading about this special experience for years to come.
Becoming a parent is the most important and challenging responsibility you can assume, and how extraordinary it is to be able to enjoy moments of peace with your child and to take pride in all you have accomplished.
 
Not every woman will look like cover model in magazine. Similarly, not every pregnant woman will still look beautiful and svelte than before. Fact. The ugly truth is nine out of ten pregnant women suffer from some kind of physical discomfort, not to mention their fatigued and ungainly appearance – sluggish movement, flabby tummy, arms and legs, thicker waist, excess flab and more. New mothers are already stressed by what they saw in mirrors. It could get worse if they’re unable to regain pre-pregnancy looks and yet have to look after a crying baby. Coupled with lack of family support and exhaustion, new mothers could easily fall prey to post-natal depression.
 
Fortunately, many physicians agree that most mothers, once they understand the physiology behind these physical changes, are able to handle them very well and adapt very quickly. Sometimes, medication and counseling are necessary if doctors detect symptoms of disturbances for some mothers. Neglect is never the solution as it may lead to or aggravate post-natal depression.
 
According to obstetricians and gynecologists, if you’re pregnant, you would likely experience the following physical changes. It definitely helps you learn to accept these changes if you understand more about them.
